Lille (France): Manuel Neuer believes Germany can put a slow start to Euro 2016 behind them and thrive under the pressure of knockouts when they face Slovakia today.

&ldquo;We have played three teams who pack everyone behind the ball. We didn&rsquo;t have much space and in games like these it&rsquo;s not easy to win by a large margin,&rdquo; said Neuer.
&ldquo;Beating the likes of Ukraine and Northern Ireland does not merit us shouting out with joy. It is not easy to beat these teams but we got the job done.
&ldquo;We finished top of our group and so we have stuck to our route map.
&ldquo;But now we are into straight knockout football and anything can happen. But we are very good at focusing when it really matters.&rdquo;
In another Round-of-16 tie tonight, Hungary will face World No 2 Belgium in Toulouse.
